    We stopped in for drinks and dinner while staying nearby, mostly because it was within walking…read moredistance of the hotel. The drink specials were good, and honestly the drinks made the Walmart run before dinner a little more tolerable. We came back later for dinner, and the food was fine. I had the Kickin' Raspberry Chicken for $14.99, which was a grilled chicken sandwich with Jamaican jerk seasoning, grilled pineapple, ghost pepper cheese, and raspberry sauce on ciabatta. It was good, messy, and that ghost pepper cheese definitely had some fire to it. I liked it. I honestly do not remember what Kim had, but not because it was bad -- just because the meal overall was not especially memorable. The bigger issue was the service. Our server seemed like she was ready to be somewhere else, and that threw off the vibe for us. Nothing was bad enough to complain about, but it was just barely good enough not to. We probably should have stayed at the bar like we usually do, because the bar side seemed more fun and the bartender looked like UFC legend Chuck Liddell, which at least added some entertainment value. I would come back for the drinks, especially if I was staying nearby again. The food was okay, my sandwich was actually pretty good, but the service left us wanting to finish up and walk somewhere else.

    Love their burgers but especially love their taco salads. I also that that can order half a taco…read moresalad.

    This is a small local restaurant. The menu is limited but tasty. Home of the original loose meat…read moresandwich. Ground beef is cooked with onions and served on a bun with chopped onions, mustard and dill pickles. You can also get cheese. Good variety of chips available as a side. They make old fashioned malts and these are a treat! They pour your initial serving and leave you the rest in the container it was mixed in. Plenty enough for 2!! They have a variety of pies for dessert. Counter seating or carry out. Service has always been friendly. You may have to wait for a seat, especially at lunch time. My husband grew up spending summers in Gladbrook and we come here every year when we visit family. Our trip wouldn't be complete without at least one visit to Taylors Maid Rite.

The restaurant was spotless. Super clean. The menu is very small, but it is perfect! My wife had the maid ride special with Doritos with cheese and a diet Pepsi and I had two Maid-Rites with Cheese and the best chocolate peanut butter I have ever tasted. I grew up near Wichita, where we had NuWay loose meat burgers. They were extraordinary. Taylor's Maid-Rite is the closest thing to those. SO GOOD!! Please stop here if you are in the area and support this gem, open since 1928. Here's the YouTube video about this place. We visited from Kansas City. https://youtu.be/dDn45y_FtBo?si=3LN_nYV00pRbUszw
